A hyper-Kähler metric on the moduli spaces of monopoles with arbitrary symmetry breaking

Abstract

We construct the hyper-Kähler moduli space of framed monopoles over R3\\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \\usepackage{amsmath} \\usepackage{wasysym} \\usepackage{amsfonts} \\usepackage{amssymb} \\usepackage{amsbsy} \\usepackage{mathrsfs} \\usepackage{upgreek} \\setlength{\\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \\begin{document}$$\\mathbb {R}^3$$\\end{document} for any connected, simply connected, compact, semisimple Lie group and arbitrary mass and charge, and hence arbitrary symmetry breaking. In order to do so, we define a configuration space of pairs with appropriate asymptotic conditions and perform an infinite-dimensional quotient construction. We make use of the b and scattering calculuses to study the relevant differential operators.
